In a vibration motor, a substrate is disposed on a base plate, a coil is disposed on the substrate, and a magnet is disposed so as to be accommodated in an inner peripheral side of the coil having an annular shape by vibration. A back yoke is disposed on the magnet, a weight is disposed on the back yoke, and a case accommodates the coil, the magnet, the back yoke, and the weight. An elastic member is disposed between the case and the weight. The base plate, the case, the magnet, the back yoke, and the weight are each formed to have a rectangular shape including long sides that extend in a first direction orthogonal to a vertical direction and short sides that extend in a second direction orthogonal to the vertical direction and the first direction in a top view.

The invention provides a system to generate alternate energy. More specifically, it provides for generation of electricity using the principle of buoyancy. The system consists of an outer container on which coils are configured and an internal container on which magnets are configured. The electricity is generated by the movement of magnets with respect to the coil. The movement of magnets is achieved by upward and downward motion of the internal container. The system encompassed by the present invention is cost effective and efficient since the installation cost, running cost and maintenance cost incurred therein is comparatively low. It does not require any fuel consumption for its working and is technically and scientifically very sound in its orientation.

A vibration motor is disclosed. The vibration motor includes a housing, a substrate engaging with the housing, a vibration unit received in the housing, an elastic member suspending the vibration unit, and a coil assembly interacting with the vibration unit. The vibration motor further includes a number of dampers located between the vibration unit and the elastic members for being constantly pressed and released.

Disclosed is an electrodynamic actuator that simultaneously produces a controlled linear combination of interstructural and inertial forces. Two coil pairs interact with radial or axial permanent magnets. The forces produced in the coil pairs acts between an end of the actuator and a common moveable mass. If the coil pair forces are equal and in the same direction they make the mass move and produce an inertial output force. If the coil pair forces are equal and in opposite directions the mass does not move and interstructural forces are produced between the two ends of the actuator. Combinations of inertial and interstructural forces are produced in a controlled manner by coordinating the electrical current through each coil pair. The actuator efficiency and the low frequency inertial force outputs are greatly improved compared to separate dedicated inertial and interstructural actuators.

An electronic device may include a linear haptic actuator that may include a housing, coils carried by the housing, and a field member linearly movable within the housing and that may include at least one permanent magnet cooperating with the coils. The electronic device may also include a controller configured to drive the coils in a multi-phase arrangement so that at least one coil is driven while at least one other coil is used to sense a position of the field member.

An eccentric magnet rotates around a spool under the influence of an electric field generated by a rotational coil surrounding the magnet to produce haptic output by rotational vibration. The ends of the spool are connected to springs, and linear actuating coils are disposed near the respective ends of the spool to cause the spool and, hence, the magnet rotating around it, to reciprocate, generating additional haptic output from the vibrations of the reciprocating motion.
